Iraq is still in Bush's favor, always has been, even while the media has been constantly focused on the prison scandal, otherwise, Kerry would have been polling 15-20 points ahead of Bush by now, but he's not.

These numbers must make the DNC wish for some rope, a chair, and an overhead light fixture.
The press is cutting their own throat here.
I guess they don't care, because they see an opportunity to get Kerry in. But the damage they are doing to their own prestige is beyond what they realize.
I didn't like the liberal press before. Now I actively hate what they are doing. I personally do not buy a newspaper or watch a TV news channel if the Iraq prison scandal is front page. I wish others would do the same.
As I am fond of saying, "They can't see the forest for the trees, but they don't care; they like trees!"
I agree. The more terrorists try to create troubles for Bush, the more solid would Bush's support become. When such troubles are repeatedly shown on TV, the doubt on Kerry's ability to rein on terrorists gets refreshed on people's mind.
I will however, continue to enjoy the hemorrhage of viewers flees the networks in an attempt to find alternate "truth".
No, idiot. The level of coverage has been out of proportion to the crimes committed. Any idiot, including someone named "No fool here", should be able to understand that and apparently 70% of the people polled agree.
Oh, by the way, welcome to FreeRepublic.
They are all Communist "Pravda" incarnate, and the people know it.They hate the fact that Reagan beat the Soviets. They're doing their best to make that victory irrelevant by helping to create a Socialist America.
How does one damage something that they are totally void of to begin with?
Either O'Reilly or Shep Smith said last night that cable news viewership has declined with the continuing obsession on the prisoner mistreatment story. Either people are picnicking and partying instead of watching the news or else they're just sick of it.

VERY, VERY WELL SAID!!! AND, EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ALONG WITH A GROWING GROUP OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS!
I didn't buy newspapers before OR watch the nightly news, but I have now given up watching the Sunday morning talking heads shows. Putting some Dem on with John McCain or Chuck Hegel and calling it "balanced". PLEASE.
good for you Morton
